Consequences of pinch point Heat exchanger design

• Design calculation requirements • Use TH chart to check that internal

pinch point is positive and determine minimum operating pressure

• Liquid flow rate (temperature program)

• Segmented model required • High accuracy => 100 sections

• Local physical properties

• Using NIST / Refprop

• Multipass calculations with coupling factor

Installation Avoid excessive connection loads

Mount the heat exchanger on vibration dampers • Reduce load from piping • Reduce load from thermal

expansion • Reduce vibration

Some Do’s • Use the TH chart in Refrigeration !

• To have successful transcritical CO2 performance : • Do NOT use LMTD ! Segmented model with local physical

properties must be used • Gas coolers should be long and slim, high-Θ. • Balance first cost and performance by selecting a proper operating

pressure . • Recover heat using indirect circuits

• Minimize and control scaling

• Avoid excessive DHW temperatures

• Use ackumulator tanks to balance demand and supply

• Avoid thermal stresses in piping system to HX’s • Mount heat exchanger on vibration dampers

• Use bypass when appropriate
